美国的一所高中禁止学生在校使用手机

When students got their textbooks in early 2019 at San Mateo High School in California， USA， they also received the Yondr pouch， a locking device for their phones.

The phone slides into it and gets locked through a magnetic device. Its not unlocked again until the final bell rings. The procedure repeated every day for the rest of the school year.

Adam Gelb， the assistant principal ran a pilot project in 2018 with 20 students and decided to do a school-wide， bell to bell program in 2019.

The Yondr pouch is a start-up in San Francisco with a mission to create phone-free spaces， something that resonated with Gelb.

Brad Friedman， a teacher at the school， said he was becoming concerned with excessive use of phones at school. He said he often saw students completely lost on their phones， some not socializing at all with other students.

A few weeks later， he saw the difference.

“Everyone else was socializing and eating lunch together. Thats what I wasnt seeing enough of when phone usage was at its worst，” he said.

A senior at San Mateo High School Djelani Phillips-Diop said he definitely panicked at first when he heard he had to lock his phone.

“When we had phones， I was using it every day，” he said.

In case of emergency， every classroom has the unlocking device. Teachers still have access to their own cellphones and landlines.

“Weve gotten all 1，700 students unlocked with a matter of minutes，” said Gelb.

“We spoke to four students who， despite their initial panic， agreed that a phone-free school experience has its benefits.”

当美国加利福尼亚州圣马特奥高中的学生在2019年年初拿到课本时，还收到一个用来锁住手机的Yondr袋子。

手机被放入袋中，然后会被一个有磁力的装置锁住。直到放学铃响后，这个装置才会解锁。该程序在2019学年余下的每一天重复运行。

这个学校的副校长亚当·格尔布在2018年和20名学生一起试验了这个项目，他决定2019年在全校实行铃声对铃声项目。

Yondr口袋是旧金山的一家初创企业推出的产品，其目的在于创造隔离手机的空间，而这与格尔布的想法产生了共鸣。

该学校的老师布拉德·弗里德曼表示，他担心学生在校过度使用手机的问题。他说，他经常看到学生完全沉迷于手机，有些学生根本不与其他学生交往。

几周后，他看到了学生的变化。

“每个学生都在社交，他们还一起吃午餐。在学生过度使用手机的时候，我看不到这么多学生参与社交。”他说道。

圣马特奥高中的高年级学生德杰拉尼·菲利普斯-迪奥普表示，最初听说要把手机锁起来的时候，他很惊慌。

“以前我们有手机的时候，我每天都要使用手机。”他说。

万一有紧急情况，每个教室都有解锁装置。老师依然可以使用他们自己的手机和座机。

“我们在几分钟内就可以解锁1700名学生的手机。”格尔布说道。

“我们与四名学生谈过，虽然他们最初感到惊慌，但后来他们也认为，没有手机的校园体验是有益处的。”
